ArmInfo. Samvel Hakobyan, a member of the Council of Elders from the "Mother Armenia" faction, announced the success of the boycott against the increase in public transportation fares in Yerevan.
In an interview with journalists, Hakobyan stated that in the first week of February, the city budget received significantly less money for travel than expected, demonstrating the effectiveness of the boycott. He emphasized that their goal is to attract more and more people to join this campaign.
He also added that awareness-raising campaigns are now taking place not only in public transport, but also in educational institutions in Yerevan. Hakobyan emphasized that while such campaigns may not solve the issue, but they can create legal and political grounds for the public to actively advocate for their interests.
